meet josh browder i'm trying to replace
the 200 billion
legal industry with artificial
intelligence he invented this loyal
murdering robot
do not pay it contests parking tickets
and has saved people millions in fines
and legal fees but
why is he trying to put hard-working
money-grubbing lawyers like me
out of business what do you have against
lawyers i don't have anything against
lawyers i just think that
so many people need access to justice
and they're getting ripped off
and making it free for them is popular
did you go to law school
i didn't no you did not that's what the
law is the law is about
the person with the most money and
resources winning
you are totally disrupting that i think
we can agree on that okay so
how does this thing even work so just
like a real human lawyer
you go to it type in whatever your legal
problem is
it gives you a legal document for free
in under 30 seconds
and it's not just parking tickets this
ai lawyer has already helped people sue
equifax without paying a lawyer anything
oh so with this thing
everyone can just sue everyone i i mean
that's not what was intended oh wow look
at this
i just sued you for emotional distress
for devaluing my degree and my
profession
oh i just sued you for that terrible
shirt and
soup combo oh i just sued you for
impersonating john oliver
how'd you like that i i i mean i i'm
personally offended but
i stand by my software a human lawyer is
great but they're just so emotional
too emotional i was making a great case
against ai lawyers
using my human skills of legal
persuasion
but what if robot lawyers were just the
beginning what if ai is taking over the
entire
legal system legal tech expert tim huang
increasingly we're seeing the use of
these automated systems even in the
application of law
judges for example are now using
algorithms to assess whether or not
people should be released pre-trial
okay wait hang on robots are already
judging humans
oh yeah in many states around the
country already oh my god he's right
robot judges are already performing
pre-trial risk assessment
helping human judges determine bail or
if a person should be detained
and over a million criminal cases have
been processed using these systems
so what are the benefits of having
machines in the judiciary well so some
people say
that these algorithms will be sort of
free of bias in the way that judges
are not i don't know about you but i
would rather be over by a human
than a machine any day of the week
unless it's a one of those hyper
realistic sex robots obviously those
things are like
i'm told that when you feel them it
feels like the real
i think that's a whole nother issue i
mean i'm sorry
but even this sex blog added concedes
that ai judges aren't perfect
great study out of propublica a few
years back looked at
the specific case of a pre-trial risk
assessment system
and they were able to find that it was
actually quite racist that actually
black defendants
who were not likely to commit crimes in
the future had substantially higher risk
ratings
what you're saying these judging
machines were racist
yeah that's that's what it looks like in
this case oh so that means the system
works then
i don't know about that wait no i'm
sorry
but increasingly we're seeing robots
implemented all across
legal practice so so ridiculous where
does it end
eventually you're gonna see machines
judging humans
a lot of the systems we're seeing are
not that advanced that's exactly what's
gonna happen
robot lawyers robot judges
what's life gonna be like in this
soulless new legal world
will no one stand to defend humans in
law
[Music]
your honor members of a jury
this is about the essence of humanity
itself
because unlike that thing i went to law
school
taught by humans i spent countless
sleepless nights
reading writing pondering
taking drugs orally and anally
all things artificial intelligence can't
do
and quite frankly i'm sensing a lot of
bias in this courtroom
watch yourself counselor don't you think
human emotion is necessary in the law
you want answers i want the data you
can't handle the data
alexa play dramatic music son we live in
a world with laws
and those laws are better applied by
machines with logic
and my existence while grotesque and
incomprehensible to you
saves lives alexa turn off nice try
in the case of ronnie chang vs
legal robots
i sentence ronnie chang to death just
kidding but i rule in favor of the
robots
i'm going to sue all these robots
